Every year Penn State football defensive coordinator Brent Pry and defensive line coach Sean Spencer, build a solid front that boasts, depth, talent and experience. It’s a result of a unique approach of constantly rotating players to keep fresh legs on the field. It also furthers the depth for future years.
A good example of this approach’s positive results is defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos jump from freshman year to sophomore year. He improved from 17 total tackles, two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in year one to a D-Line-leading, 54 tackles, 20 TFLs and eight sacks this past season.
